A LOOK BACK AT THE LAST TIME WWE RAN AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

By PWINSIDER.COM STAFF on 2006-09-11 13:16:00

The last time WWE ran in Madison Square Garden, it was April 18, 2005 for a "Supershow" Raw broadcast and Smackdown taping. To say things were different then would be an understatement. Just a few of the reasons WWE's last event at MSG was memorable:

- Vince McMahon made his first WWE television appearance since being injured while walking to the ring at the Royal Rumble.

- Hulk Hogan made a surprise appearance to run off Muhammad Hassan, his first time in the Garden in two years.

- Raw was main evented by Triple H vs. Jim Ross. Seriously.

- Lita was serenaded with boos and "You screwed Matt" chants from the Garden fans.

- MNM won their first WWE Tag Team Championship.

- Sadly, this would mark Eddie Guerrero's last appearance in MSG.
